A bit of backstory: Ian Scott, former chairperson of the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), allegedly held solo/ex parte meetings with Incumbents while a review of a 2019 CRTC decision that reduced fees the big telecoms would be able to charge smaller internet service providers for access to their broadband networks, was underway [0].

That 2019 decision was reversed in 2021.
